C12

C12-GAMMA is a finalised branch of Caesarion v12; a free software
product for the FreeBSD and Linux operating systems. It is distributed
under a software license which mandates that it may not be used for
terrorism, paedophilia or crimes against humanity.

The software provides secure (E-mail) communications facilities;
communications secrecy, user-authentication and data-integrity verification.

C12-GAMMA provides some unique technological superiorities, including:

- The use of the L15 Stream Cipher which is a technological superiority in itself.
- Innovative Cipher-Packet technique hides ciphertext in padding thus preventing cryptanalysis.
- The software is supplied with file encryption utilities which utilise the above facilities.
- E-mail is encrypted using the RSA public-key cryptosystem thus eliminating
  security risks from symmetric ciphers.
- The provision of secret-public-key facilities caters for high security scenarios.
- Unorthodox (reversed) RSA encoding of data should provide a higher level of security
  relative to orthodox implementations.
- Digital signatures are encrypted thus eliminating security risks from cryptographic hash
  functions (most of which have recently discovered security issues).
- The software is supplied with a FreeBSD-4.11R /dev/[u]random replacement kit.
- The software is supplied with complete documentation including manual pages.
